Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0777366A2] An apparatus detects (516) a baud rate in a digital signal (442). An N-state counter (404) counts at a rate N times the baud rate and the digital signal is sampled (504) to detect transitions of the digital signal. N tallies (202) record how many transitions occur coincident with each of the states of the counter, and a total number of transitions detected is computed (508). M groups (204-210) of the tallies are formed (510) corresponding to contiguous sequential states of the counter, and for each group a group number is calculated (512) indicating how many transitions are recorded in the tallies of the group. Each group is defined (514) transitional if the group number exceeds a percentage (413) of the total number of transitions, and the baud rate is determined present or absent based upon the groups that are defined as transitional. <IMAGE>
